[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 654881] [NEW] Nvidia.common drvr fails with unable to init device

2010-10-04 Thread M.Letcher
Public bug reported: Hi folks, Just thought I'd see if I could get some help. I haven't had any success in getting Ubuntu to recognize my Nvidia 8800GT card for about a year now. Now I have jumped through some hoops, searched the net, the forums, etc. I've even occasionally tried installing the

I've got a Hauppage video card. I didn't think Ubuntu was even aware of it. I don't use it with Ubuntu ( yet anyway, as I struggle to get basic OpenGL graphics working ). Any hints on how to check status of cx18 (??) and disable it to see if it makes any difference. I can resend logs, etc. but

Ok, another weekend, another try, and still no joy. I disabled the CD option in the update manager. At least Jockey didn't crash this time. However, the only option in hardware drivers this time was for nv - which appeared to default to nv-173. Jockey looked for drivers but didn't even offer
